J & J Photography And Video Productions

Here at J & J Photography we cannot perform our art form without your help. We work with each individual client to work out the special details of each shoot, which helps us to transform an ordinary picture into a one of a kind work of art. We strive to capture the moments that you'll treasure for many years to come.

We will, of course, re-touch your photos to help you look your very best! But here are a few tips:

• Bring examples, examples, examples! Bring with you examples of your favorite portraits. Look though your CD collection or your favorite magazines. We encourage your enthusiasm!
• If you wear glasses, it is best to have a pair that doesn't have lenses in them. The glass glare can ruin an otherwise beautiful photo. See if your optician will lend you a pair without the lenses.
• Your clothing selection is of great importance. The clothing you choose creates the mood and look of the portraits that will be seen by generations to come. Solids work best for a classic portrait. We suggest casual outfits and ask that you keep patterns on clothing choices to a minimum. If you are not sure what to bring, bring an extra outfit.
• Don’t forget to bring those personal items that will really make your portrait YOU! In the band? Bring your instrument! Play sports? Bring some gear! Have a favorite hat, piece of clothing, anything that's uniquely you? Bring it along! Guys...ask your girlfriend for your class ring back, just for the shoot;)
• Guys, if you want a clean cut look, be sure to shave before your session...a 5 o’clock shadow will show up in your pictures. Girls, we don’t recommend that you try out new makeup just before your shoot. Concealer is good to cover blemishes followed up by foundation to blend. Bring a Brush and some powder translucent for touch up. Don’t get a haircut within one week of your photo shoot.
